Windows 7: Wallpaper will not change to slideshow on Windows 7

Hello all, looking forward to learning more about Windows 7! Some time ago, my wallpaper became a solid color and no longer accepts any changes to slideshows or desktop wallpaper pics I make via the customization option in the Personalization settings. It just...stays at the solid color. I even tried creating another User Account and it DOES work there but, to be honest, I'd really rather try fixing the problem in THIS user account than just...starting from the very beginning in the next user account.

Any ideas on how I can rectify this problem? Appreciate any help you could give! Thanks!

Looks like the "Solid Color" part, however, there is a way for me to choose Pictures from my library. Once I do this, though, no matter how many times I save it, no matter how much I restart the PC, it ALWAYS reverts back a Solid Color. In other words, it does NOT let me choose Pictures or a Slideshow option. I wish I could do a Print Screen so you can see what I mean.

Nothing happened, even after reboot. Still solid black color. I'm at a loss too. Oh well, may have to learn to live with it or try migrating to new user account. How DO I migrate my stuff to new user account? There's no way I'd remember every icon's place and stuff. Any easy or somewhat simple way to do that?

Wallpaper Slideshow TransitionsWhen I first had my computer, the wallpaper/desktop slideshows transitioned between pictures smoothly. Further on down the road, there is no transition effect, just a direct cut-to. I have a feeling TuneUp Utilities is to blame, but I can't find a setting that relates to the wallpaper slideshow...
